Shay Lynch: Tribute after boy dies in swimming pool

Gardaí (Irish police) said emergency services were alerted to the incident shortly before 15:00 local time on Saturday.

In a statement, the Lakeside Hotel and Leisure Centre said its “deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and those who knew the young boy who passed away following a tragic accident in our swimming pool”.

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our lifeguards, team members and the emergency services who did all they could in responding to this incident.

“As a mark of respect, our leisure centre will remain closed for the coming days.”

In a statement on Sunday, Clonlara Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club said Shay “was a talented, loved and valued member of our U9s team”.

It said all “club activities will be suspended over the coming days as a mark of respect”.

Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Simon Harris described the incident as “absolutely heartbreaking”.

“I know people right across Ireland are keeping this family and the community of Clonlara in County Clare in their thoughts and prayers at such a sad and difficult time.”
